Firstly, pardon me as I'm entirely new to nginx.
Single site, running Wordpress in the root and various other applications in subdirectories. Wordpress permalinks/rewrites are working perfectly as far as I can tell.
The issue: All php files work correctly when browsing directly to them. However, when visiting /apply/, the file is downloaded and/or displayed as plain text in the browser. If I browse directly to /forums/apply.php, it works correctly.
nginx config for this site:
server_name site;
root /var/www/site;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location /apply {
rewrite ^/apply/ /forums/apply.php break;
}
location / {
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php last;
break;
}
}
location ~ \.php {
# for security reasons the next line is highly encouraged
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
# if the next line in yours still contains $document_root
# consider switching to $request_filename provides
# better support for directives such as alias
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
# If using a unix socket...
# fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock;
# If using a TCP connection...
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
Any and all suggestions are much appreciated.
